Résumé

This Act replaces the Forestry Act of 1912. It is based on the recommendations of an FAO technical assistance project, which suggested legislation providing more explicitly than previously for forest management. The Chief Conservator of Forests is made responsible for the management of the forest resources of the country. He is required to compile a national inventory of forest resources and a national forest management plan designed to obtain the "optimum combination of economic, social and environmental benefits. Most of the management provisions of the Act apply only to classified forests, which may be either national or community. A national forest is required to be on State-owned or -leased land, in contrast to reserves under the previous law which were generally on chiefdom (customary) land. As under the previous law, existing usage rights compatible with the purpose of the forest are to be preserved. Acquisition or leasing of land for national forests is subject to normal provisions for compensation. Previously, compensation was not usually paid in respect of areas put into forest reserves, although a part of any timber royalties was given to chiefdom authorities. A classified forest may have protection or production as its primary purpose, but in both cases it is to be managed for the maximum combination of benefits compatible with the primary purpose. Detailed inventories of classified forests may be required by regulation.
